Two weeks have gone by, it's the last day of the games, the sky is dark and I barely woke up. Cato isn't here anymore. I wonder if I was asleep during his death. "CATO! "I yell, but I don't get any reply. I stand up, shout his name three times, I begin to freak out when I don't get a reply.

Something big, with Glimmer's eyes coming to me, it looks like a wolf. I speed up my race. A sharp knife is already in my right hand. My eyes are open, my vision is better than I thought.

There's the Cornucopia, my smile is undone when I think about how I'm going to climb up there. I see Cato at the top. He is with his arm wrapping Peeta's neck, saying something that I can't hear. Katniss is aiming an arrow at him. "AH!" I cry when I feel a bite on my leg. "NOO!" I still scream desperately. That doesn't stop me from listening to Cato's body falling from there. Katniss and Peeta are stopped looking at us. They are confirming their victory.

"Cato, hold it!" I play one of my knives to fight with the mutations. I kill one. There are only four for us to kill. While I don't hear the cannon, I stay calm. The mutations aren't a big problem for me, but Katniss, who was pitching another arrow for my tribute partner. I don't look back, but I know that Cato is still alive.

I walk next to the mutations that are involving him, biting him, too. I just throw a knife on the one that he is fighting. He looks at me, quickly gives a smile and go back to fight the remaining mutations.

My back touches his, "Give me a boost. When you finish the mutations, save me. " He let me set my foot on his hands and reach the top of the Cornucopia.

The body of the unfortunate lovers are separated. A fist beating against my face, the pain is strong. The hand is hard as a rock. My body is wrapped by Peeta's legs, he punches my face several times. His hand is with blood, my blood. My knife is inches away from the face for Peeta, the tip of the blade against his skin.

"Boom." The cannon is played.

My heart screams for Cato. But my body is still below of Peeta's, my strength doesn't increase, my eyes shed tears. I don't see the image of the tribute, it is very difficult for me. I moan, deepening my knife in his skin. He closes his eyes. He let his body and I'm on top, using the same knife to scratch his throat. The cannon plays again.

Katniss is on my side, with her neck strangled, her eyes are open, but she's dead. Her bow is empty. This means that Cato. He's alive!

It takes less than a second to find him. The boy is lying exactly on Katniss' side, an arrow in his stomach. "CATO!" I get down on my knees, blood being released quickly. He still flashes, Amen.

A smile is formed in his sweet lips, his teeth are covered in blood, but I still smile.

"This is one of the times when you say you can kill me when you want to," he let go a laugh, the blood from his mouth jumps to my neck.

"I'm just going to kill you when you can fight me," I laugh after him. Are the Gamemakers waiting Cato die so I be declared the winner? "I won't let you die, not at all. You saved me." Cato responds to me with a smile. I remove the arrow from his belly. It wasn't hard. Katniss, by herself, put the arrow there, she didn't use her bow.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the winners of 74th Edition of the Hunger Games." I listen to Seneca Craine.

My hair is taken by a wind that came from the Capitol ship. I look at Cato, he can barely breathe. I relax his arm on my shoulder. Unfortunately, that just complicates things, more blood is splattered on me. I lay his body and leave, someone experienced will take him.


In less than a few hours, my wounds were already beyond recognition, but my skull was permanently damaged, and the memories, too. I volunteered for the games to stay away from my family, but I never thought it would be so painful.

"Clove, are you ready? You will go live in five minutes, " Enobaria says.

Within five minutes, I'm going to have to explain everything in detail, especially my belly. Cato and Brutus agreed to create a love story. Ugh, can't they wait at least a week?

That Caesar Flirckerman orchestra began playing, he opens the widest smile I've ever seen in my entire life.

I was wearing a long navy dress, the sleeves made of lace, with sharp spikes, as my knives. My belly is already visible. My makeup is not very fancy, I never let them paint me as one of the clowns of Capitol. I let them put a hair bow with spikes to highlight my black straight hair.

The audience vibrates when they see me and Cato entering the stage. Like everyone else, Ceasar congratulates us.

"So, Clove. I bet I wasn't the only one to notice that something is growing, "he looks at my baby bump, along with the audience.

"Are you talking about our love?" Cato question.

"No, silly. He's talking about the result of it. " I give a forced smile to the audience. "It wasn't exactly something we planned, but what we can do. There was a reason for me to volunteer. I couldn't let him go alone to the games. I knew he was going to volunteer. "

Cato grabs my hand. "But we had a fight. Clove didn't want me to worry with the baby, and I was mad at her, "he adds.

I was already getting relieved until the moment that they make us watch the best moments of the Hunger Games.

I see the bloodbath, I threw a knife at the boy who was about to kill Katniss, and she's protecting yourself with the backpack. My eyes get away from the screen when I hear my dialogue with Tresh. My moan when I am thrown against the Cornucopia. When the tributes from District 1 appear, I immediately go out. The audience thinks I'm jealous of Glimmer, and Cato agrees.

Caesar finally Announces and releases us.


We finally went back to the District 2 and this time we bring the pride with us. Cato seems much happier than I am. I seal my lips when I see my parents applauding me, Cato's girlfriend, his family. In Victors' Village, I'll be happy, and my daughter, too.

The End of the part 1.
